Fishing Report 10/12/2012

In October temperatures drop, crowds subside, and the fishing remains strong.  This is the time of year where you can have the river all to yourself, while enjoying the changing leaves and rising heads.

The Big Wood is still fishing well, despite low water.  A dry dropper with a mayfly attractor and a small nymph is a good bet, but keep your eyes open for Baetis or Midges.  Watch foam lines for sipping fish.

This is one of the best times of the year on Silver Creek.  Pressure is low, and the Baetis hatches remain strong.  The hatches have been starting between 10:00 and 11:00, but don't be surprised to see some Baetis in the afternoon.  Here is a shot a Baetis caught fish from Wednesday.

The Lost has been great over the last couple of weeks.  A dry dropper with a bushy dry and a small nymph has been hard to beat, but afternoon Baetis has been by far the most fun.  Look for heads in the foam lines, and you might find some of the biggest fish in the river coming up to eat naturals.
